HALO wind lidar

PI Mika Komppula
Operators: Mika Komppula & colleagues, Elina Giannakaki
Participant Atmospheric Research Centre of Eastern Finland
Instrument picture

The Doppler lidar, with an operational wavelength at 1.5μm, has a vertical resolution of 30m and measures the attenuated aerosol backscatter, doppler velocity and dissipation rate. Every 10min the lidar performs a conical scanning and measures the three wind components, providing information for the wind speed and wind direction. Distribution of the wind speed at a certain distance away from the lidar can be retrieved in the vertical and horizontal direction while the lidar operates under the scanning mode.

Real time plots can be found here.
